{Pretty Educated: Ladurée}

Ladurée is a famous Parisian pastry shop. It was founded in 1862. Sofia Coppola requested Ladurée make the goodies for the set of her film Marie Antoinette.





"Macarons, also anglicized "macaroons", are not to be confused with a similar pastry also called macaroons. Macarons are sandwich-like pastries made with two thin cookies and a cream or ganache between the cookies. Macaroons are dense cookies made either with coconut or with a coarse almond paste."






Now who's up for some macarons?

ReplyDeleteOh J'dore this blog post. I too have never heard of Laduree but I will put that on my list for when I got to Paris! Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment. Yes, I heart Martha, and have been meaning to go see her homes in Stapleton. I will go and do that too.
